Caution: Do not obstruct the air vents. Keep all air vents free of dirt or
dust.
Caution: Handle the Echo liquid handler coupling fluid and waste water
carefully. Avoid all spills.
Caution: Keep corrosive agents, or otherwise damaging material, away
from the Echo liquid handler and its attached devices.
Caution: Do not expose the Echo liquid handler to excessive moisture
(>80% relative humidity). Moisture, or condensation, can damage electrical
components.
Caution: Do not expose the Echo liquid handler to temperatures outside
of the storage range: 5°C–45°C (41°F–113°F). Temperatures outside of this
range can damage the instrument.
Caution: Do not run the Echo liquid handler without the chiller. Ensure
that the chiller is correctly connected to the Echo instrument and is running
at the recommended temperature. Incorrect coupling fluid temperature can
reduce the precision and accuracy of the fluid that is transferred. Extreme
fluid temperatures can potentially damage the acoustic transducer.
Caution: Do not allow the acoustic transducer to dry out. If the Echo
liquid handler is going to be shut down for longer than a week, start up
and run the pump once a week to keep the acoustic transducer wet.

Caution: Do not run the pump if the chiller tubing is not connected.
Running the pump without the chiller tubing may damage other system
components.
Caution: Do not run the pump without the vacuum source connected and
active. Running the pump without vacuum can lead to flooding the system
or a system error.
